Zonhoven

It’s another big weekend for live cycling, with great track and cyclocross, and it’s all streamable! Here’s what to watch and why

Cyclocross

If you’ve never watch CX, it’s a really fun, muddy, crazy sport, and this weekend is the most perfect time to start. Here’s broerie’s guide to CX for newbies, and tgsgirl’s must-see cyclocross calendar, which describes the races (and makes me laugh out loud) and the Velorooms season preview, which lists who’s who to watch – but if you want CX in a sentence, here’s mine: Riders race laps of a course that includes man-made and natural obstacles like sand, hills and barriers, which is so hard they have to get off and run with the bikes at points – they race for an hour (50 mins for the women) and the first across the line wins!
